RadarScope

RadarScope

RadarScope is a specialized display utility for weather enthusiasts and meteorologists that allows you view NEXRAD Level 3 as well as Level 2 Super-Res radar data along with Tornado, Severe Thunderstorm, Flash Flood and Special Marine Warnings, and predicted storm tracks issued by the US National Weather Service. View native radar data rendered in its original radial format for a high level of detail. Display the latest reflectivity, velocity, and other products from any NEXRAD or TDWR radar site in the US, Guam, Puerto Rico, as well as reflectivity and velocity data from Environment Canada radars. Radar data from South Korea and Japan can also be displayed on this premium app.
Whether you are scanning reflectivity for a mesocyclone's tell-tale hook echo, trying to pinpoint the landfall of a hurricane's eye wall, or looking for features like velocity couplets within the storm relative radial velocity product, RadarScope gives you the power to view true radial NEXRAD weather radar on Windows 10.

Review title of KevinGreat but missing a few core features

This app is the best there is when predicting and watching storms. You get the most information and very accurate. My only issue why not have all of the features that area available on IOS, Mac, and Android. One would think that this should have everything seeing how its running on tablets and desktops. Oh well maybe we get lightning tracking and some other tier 1 and 2 features later on. Please make it happen devs for 30.00 we should.

Review title of Jeff******THIS is what TV weathermen and storm chasers use!

Many television stations, including legendary TV meteorologist James Spann use THIS radar program on the air. I am a storm chaser for local and national media, chasing from Texas to South Dakota. RadarScope is a professional tool that is easy to use. WHY IS THIS BETTER THAN THE FREE RADAR PICTURE YOU CAN GET ANYWHERE ONLINE? The regular radar picture you are used to seeing only shows you where precipitation is, and how much is there. RadarScope lets you see where the HAIL is (Hi Resolution VIL), where the TORNADO is located and WHERE IT IS GOING (Velocity in Hi Resolution Layer 2). You can look at the different layers of the atmosphere (Layer 1 being lowest). WDT wrote this program. They are one of the biggest providers of private weather info to companies. They use their huge assets to process the high definition level 2 data from the National Weather Services Doppler radars and provide that to this program. It does so much more, but I am running out of space.

Review title of MikeLightning Data

Lightning data is rather iffy compared to the android app version. more sparse than android and doesn't refresh well. Have to restart the app to refresh the data occasionally.

Developers did a great job developing RadarScope for Windows!. I have had RadarScope on iOS since 2014 and just recently installed it on the iPhone SE!.

Review title of ZachGood, but needs the pro features

ORIGINAL REVIEW 5/2/2018:
This app is great, but it is lacking some of the functionality found in the android and ios versions of this app. In particular, the ability to render hail contours and lightning strikes are absent in this version (you cannot register your subscription to the professional features at this time). WDT has promised to add this functionality, this will definitely be a 5-star app when they do. Until then, the mobile platform versions currently hold more functionality.
UPDATE 11/26/2018:
It seems that WDT is not supporting the Windows 10 version of RadarScope. We're still waiting for the pro features that WDT promised to add during the summer months. It is unlikely that I'll be renewing my pro subscription.

Review title of JoelNew and Great Radar Tool

I'm a pro meteorologist and have been a user for years on iOS and Mac ... glad to see this come to Windows 10. Initial trouble with the Microsoft Store not allowing purchase. Then a few minor bugs in this first version and some pro features still missing in this basic version. While settings allows TDWR to be checked, TDWR sites do not display on map. Workaround is to go to radar list and select the TDWR site. This product will be even better (5 stars) when the features catch up more to what is offered on Mac and iOS. All of the basic features appear to be working great. Definitely recommend purchase to anyone needing to track radar ...

Review title of WilliamGreat but needs the pro features.

I am giving this a 4 star for now. It is a great map but some features need to be added. Such as changing color on the draw tool, adding the tiered level pro subscriptions (which are promised for later). Once the tier levels are added this will be a top radar app.
